Find out how to apply for a weekly, monthly or annual permit for car parks in Torbay.

Fraudulent PCN payment text messages and QR code scam

We are aware that people are getting fake text messages asking for penalty charge payments with a link. We will never ask for payments via text. Penalty charge notices are either placed on your vehicle or sent by post. If you get such a text, block the sender and report it to Action Fraud.

Also, fake QR codes have been found in some of our car parks. We don’t use QR codes for parking payments. You should only use our pay and display machines or the RingGo app. If you see any QR codes in our car parks, please call us at 01803 207695.

Please be aware that parking permits are non-refundable.

For regular car park users we offer a variety of parking permits allowing you to use over 30 car parks across Torbay.

For example, did you know our annual off-peak parking permit works out at just £1.44 a week? This means if you park for more than an hour a week, the permit has paid for itself.

Our standard annual permit works out at £8.75 a week, which is less than the cost of paying for one full day ticket in Zone 1.

For someone using our car parks on a regular basis, there are great savings to be made.

Short stay time limits apply in Brixham Central, Great Western Road and Shoppers car parks.

Four day, eight day and monthly car park tickets can be bought at the card payment machines in the following car parks: Hampton Avenue, Town Hall, Shedden Hill, Beacon Quay, Victoria (levels 1 and 3), Clennon Valley, Broadsands, Brixham Central and Freshwater. These tickets must be clearly displayed when parking, with all details visible.
